阅读下列短文，从每个小题所给的选项中选出最佳答案。 We moved to a new area when our son was in Grade  Five. Before we moved, we took him to spend half a day at his new school. There he saw his new classmates and teachers. He enjoyed the visit. During the almost 150-kilometer drive home, he told us that he had told some of the students the date when we would move there. And he had also invited them to visit us. The moving day, a Saturday, was a busy day. But we arrived at our new house at noon. About an hour later, kids began to come and soon one of them invited our son to his house to play for the afternoon. By the time he returned, he knew where most of the kids lived and all of their family histories. On Monday morning,the door bell rang just before the time he would leave for school. Then it rang again and again. By the time he was ready, we had eight young boys waiting to walk to school with him on his first day. They all lived near us. I asked them if their parents had sent them. The answers surprised and pleased me, 'No, we just came so that we would have people to walk with. 'and 'It is the right thing to do. ' The startings of lasting (持续的) friendships were formed (形成) that day.
